About this listen

This is not your average podcast, as it is designed as an ongoing audiobook series. Sarah Millar has devoted several years to Learning and Development, gradually recognising that people often lack enthusiasm for training. She's made earnest efforts to infuse fun into the learning process. Still, she soon realises it's not as captivating as hoped. Together with her colleague Doug, they ventured into establishing a learning and development company, nurturing the hope that this would liberate them from their stagnant learning rut and allow them to create the learning tools they'd always envisioned. Sarah encountered the complexities of launching a business and adapting along the way. Through this journey, she gleaned valuable insights about learning, primarily from engaging clients and the people in her professional circle. This Podcast series is Written by Michelle Whelan (@BanjoPatti) and voiced by AI simulation Elli. (Rating- MA) ©Michelle Whelan 2023Copyright 2024 Michelle Whelan Art Literary History & Criticism

  • Episode 11: Herb from HR
    Mar 22 2024

    The squabbles, pettiness, and arguing have started at Chalkboard Learning, and for some reason Sarah is the one that seem to defuse the argues that come to her. He approach to this, is not making any situation any better and rather hide in the bathroom than to deal with it.

    Doug decided it time to hire on some from HR to help sort of the conflicts that go on in the office.

    With no background checks and randomly picking one from an agent, they end with Herb. A genially nice guy, and quite positive to a HR manager.

    Herb tries his best to do things by the books but find this method to much of a mess and decided to try his own approach instead.

    Herb methods, well, aren't really everyone cup of tea! But do manage to put the office back to normal.

  • Episode 10 - The Interns
    Feb 19 2024

    With a fresh client on the horizon, or as Sarah phrases it, the next client in queue, ToDoBuddy prepares for upcoming builds.

    It appears that the team is occupied with other projects, and with the imminent launch of the last client, they opt to assign the project to the interns.

    Ryan and Maggie, the recent high school graduates and new interns, seem to spend more time goofing off with each other than focusing on their tasks. As time becomes increasingly tight and pressure mounts from Doug and Sarah, Ryan and Maggie resort to drastic measures to complete the work.
